 # mtr
 
+mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs in a single network diagnostic tool.
+As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and a user-specified destination host. After it determines the address of each network hop between the machines, it sends a sequence ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the quality of the link to each machine.  As it does this, it prints running statistics about each machine.
